I’ve got the FV WordPress Flowplayer plugin installed on a number of blogs but hit a problem with the “redirect” option that allows you to set a new page to redirect the user to when the video finishes playing.

The problem is that the plugin wants to open a new window when it reaches that point.

In Firefox that works fine.

But in Chrome and Internet Explorer it’s treated as a pop-up. Which means it’s blocked unless the user either accepts it or has changed the defaults to allow pop-ups. Neither of which are exactly likely.

It took me a while but I discovered a very simple change in one of the FV WordPress Flowplayer files would sort this out.

If you’ve hit the same problem, take a backup of the file concerned (always a good idea when you’re doing this kind of thing) before making the modification.

It sounds almost an impossibility: being attractive to women without talking. Although if you’re the kind of person who seems to automatically put their foot in their mouth as soon as they open it, the concept has got to hold appeal!

Body language has been around for years and that’s partly what you’ll be using to get the upper hand and the woman of your dreams.

If you’re suffering from withdrawal symptoms and missing the classic menu for Office, you’re not alone. For a company that normally puts backward compatibility at a premium, Microsoft sure got it wrong with Office 2007 and it’s successor Office 2010.

All the familiar menus you’ve grown to love or hate have disappeared and in their place is a new – supposedly better – system that would be fine if you were just learning to use Office but turns the air blue if you’re used to things being where they always have been.

Unusually there’s no option to switch back to the classic menu for Office. But fortunately there’s an add-on available which puts all your old, familiar menus back into your sparkling new copy of Office. Phew!

Google recently seem to have a habit of adding new “exciting” features to their search results with so much as asking their users first.

The latest in this barrage of maybe helpful/almost certainly irritating ideas is the search preview. The little magnifying glass that pops up a preview of the website whenever you move your mouse even vaguely close to it.

So, if that bugs you and you’re perfectly happy clicking on the results link to see what the page looks like (and more importantly, says), what can you do?

The Club Membership Software program is a simple software program to help club secretaries and anyone else who wants to keep an organized contact list.

Installation of the club membership software is straightforward: you download a zipped file, extract it to somewhere you’ll remember and then run the Setup program.

The club membership software program has been around in various forms since the 1990’s. If you have an earlier version (even if it’s a DOS one – some clubs use hand-me-down computers), there is a conversion routine that will convert your data into the latest format. There is also a conversion routine to import data from a range of other formats, so you shouldn’t need to re-type any existing data. Continue reading →

Despite the advent of email, there are still times when you need to send or receive a fax and using an internet fax service makes this easy.

The trouble is, nowadays those times aren’t necessarily often enough to justify renting an extra phone line, buying a fax machine and keeping it topped up with paper and ink. Plus you’re not necessarily always near a physical fax machine – there’s probably one at the office but you likely don’t want one at home as well.
